"No anesthesia?" Everyone was shocked. An emergency cesarean section without anesthesia, the mother simply couldn't withstand the pain.
They were doctors, not executioners; they couldn't just watch a living person die of pain.
They were now caught in a dilemma: without surgery, the mother and the baby would die; with surgery, the mother would likely not survive the pain either, with the baby dying in utero.
Was there even any point in performing the surgery?
Most importantly, in the eyes of the villagers, they held great respect for them. If they failed to save lives, it could easily lead to misunderstandings and anger among the villagers, which would be detrimental to the unity Jianshe sought to foster.
Especially at such times, all the health workers fell silent.
There were few health workers here that could truly be called doctors, many were nurses by training, and those who could actually perform surgery were very few and far between.
